CIO Barbell Income Fund

Enjoy the benefits of a regular investment income with a resilient portfolio built for the medium to long run.

The CIO Barbell Income Fund is based off the DBS CIO Barbell Strategy, a barbell approach to investing advocated by our DBS Chief Investment Office comprising:

• Income-generating assets such as corporate bonds and dividend-yielding equities, given the ultra-low interest rate environment we are in; and
• Secular growth equities that ride on long term, irreversible growth trends.

Key Fund Highlights

• Multi-asset fund based on the DBS CIO Barbell Strategy Index Note, modified for income generation. It aims to distribute 3-4% per year to investors via quarterly distribution.
• Aims to have a balanced risk profile with strategic asset allocation of 50% equities, 45% fixed income, and 5% cash.
• Also writes covered calls against select growth equities in order to generate cash flow.

The fund is managed by Amundi and advised by DBS.

Capture opportunities for a better tomorrow, for your wealth and the planet.

Sustainable investing is an undeniable trend that is here to stay. And we are committed to ensuring your investments stay future-proof. With an average MSCI ESG rating of AA, these best-in-class companies prove there is no trade off between returns and making positive impact.
